Ohio DC Roth 457 Option

Why offer the Roth 457 Option to your Employees?

Ohio DC now offers a Roth 457 option for your employees. The Roth 457 option gives your employees the ability to contribute to post-tax accounts as well as traditional pre-tax accounts.

​​The key provisions and benefits regarding the Roth 457 option are:​


  • Contributions are taxable income in the calendar year contributed​
  • Distributions are tax-free if certain criteria are met
  • Combined contribution limits apply to both Pre-tax contributions and Roth Contributions


Employers may voluntarily offer the Roth 457 option to their employees by executing a new Employer Adoption Agreement Exhibit B, Payroll/Administ​rative Procedures, and fulfilling the related employer responsibilitie​s outlined in the exhibit. Just return the completed and executed form.​


Employers who choose to offer the Roth 457 Option must execute an Adoption Agreement, Exhibit B, Payroll/Administrative Procedures form before employees can enroll in the Roth 457 option.
Upon receipt of the completed Exhibit B, Ohio DC will review, process, and countersign. We will forward you a copy of the signed document for your records and additional information regarding the Roth 457 option.

Employers will need to set-up a separate post-tax payroll deduction for Roth contributions.
Pre-tax deferrals and Roth contributions will be billed separately.​Ohio DC will create a new bill code assigned to Roth contributions.


Pre-tax deferral and Roth contribution billings can be obtained and filed on the Ohio Business Gateway​.


Thank you for helping your employees save for retirement. Please contact the Service Center at 877.644.6457 with any questions.​
